      Pros

      As an intern you have access to an incredible wealth of information at SpaceX. You'll learn a ton and not be given menial tasks. Many companies will assign many interns to a single person. Here, interns are assigned to groups within the company and everybody in that group acts as a mentor (you also have one primary mentor)

      Cons

      Long hours can really suck, especially if you live far and have to commute through LA traffic. Not much time to hang out with other interns except during the weekend.

      Good for an internship; Bad for full-time

      Pros

      SpaceX is a fast-paced, exciting, and rewarding place to intern. You are given real work- exactly the same work as full-timers and you can learn a TON here. Working at SpaceX has taught me a wide variety of skills from time management and prioritizing to effective communication and teamwork.

      Cons

      As many of the reviews have already stated, SpaceX is not an easy place to work. Not only is the work challenging, but it easily consumes your life....finding time outside of work (even on the weekends) can be difficult. The employees here are over-worked and under-payed; however, for an internship the pay isn't too bad. Also, interns are limited to working 50 hours work weeks, but keep in mind you WILL work 50 hour works weeks at least.
